Telford #1636 Free
This 17.76 km loop takes about 28 minutes through Donnington, Trench, Oakengates and Redhill, spanning 30 to 60 mph. Its seven roundabouts are among the most of any route here, yet it carries only four sets of traffic lights, so roundabout technique is the main focus.
Watch Out For
Seven roundabouts back to back means constant give-way decisions to the right and clear left-signal timing on exit. One school area brings a reduced limit and children, so ease off well before it.
Route Features
The drive reaches south to Holyhead Road and Redhill Way, then returns past St Georges Road. A marked school area sits on the town section where you slow down.
Test Manoeuvres
Expect to pull up on the left and rejoin cleanly.
Key Tips
With few lights to stop you, keep momentum smooth and plan every roundabout exit early.
